Hi all,
My internal SSD failed, so I got an external SSD drive and since then I have had rather odd issues.
Currently no external drive will mount, these are external hard drives and flash drives in various formats, all of these work on another device and in Recovery mode.
They are seen in system report, they even have a disk number and it identifies the drive, they do not show up in disk utility.
I installed WD utilities for one of the drives, that shows up in the utility and I can run full diagnostics on the drive, comes back fine, but still cannot mount.
All drives work in Previous versions of MacOS prior to Monterey, from Monterey onwards this issue exists. Monterey also had the issue where no Disk images would mount, even DMG files and nither would my SD card, this was fixed by upgrading to Ventura, but I still cannot mount any external drives.
I've tried this on a fresh install, completely wipping the drive but still doesn't work. I am booting from an SSD via usb3.
